Udupi district is basically an agrarian economy. Agricultural crops such as paddy, areca
nut, coconut, rubber and cashew are the major crops being cultivated since long time. As

in production and packaging, different value added products like salted, spiced cashew,
and kaju masala can be taken up for high end category markets by few entrepreneurs in
this area. Areca nut is a major commercial crop which can be raw material for supari
making and in pan masala.
